Lord Jamar has been one of Eminem’s most outspoken critics for years — typically from DJ Vlad’s couch. Par for the course, the Brand Nubian MC has weighed in on Em’s recent comments on Hip Hop culture.

During an interview with KXNG Crooked, Em was asked if he believes he’s a “guest in the house of Hip Hop.” Without hesitation, Shady conceded — but without mentioning Lord Jamar’s name.

“The funny shit is, with the whole beef a certain person [Lord Jamar], I never said I wasn’t a guest,” he said. “I’m absolutely a guest. I never said I wasn’t.”

On Friday (February 21) — the same day the interview premiered — Jamar took his thoughts to Twitter and essentially claimed victory in the debate.

“I guess his EGO wouldn’t allow him to say ‘Lord Jamar was right the whole time, & I was buggin for coming at him the way I did…my bad…I am a guest in the house of Hip Hop.’

He added in a follow-up tweet, “But at least the EGO was quelled enough to admit what I’d been saying all along.”

Finally, Jamar concluded the great debate is over.

“This shit is case closed,” he wrote. “now all together repeat after me…WHITE PEOPLE ARE GUESTS IN THE HOUSE OF HIP HOP THAT BLACK PEOPLE BUILT! Thank you and good night. (Drops mic and leaves podium).”
